A novel and a play are both works of fiction. Both can be based on real people and real events, but most of the material in each is a creation of the writer.

Both depend on intriguing characters and compelling events (a plot) to be effective.

Both require an audience, one a reader and one a listener(s).

Both are frequently presented in 3 acts. In a novel, the acts are not delineated, and it is not necessary for the reader to be aware of them.

Both utilize many of the same literary techniques: powerful language, dialogue, settings, suspense, careful pacing, and the creation of scenes.
